A3 research: Random examples of linear perspective

Part of this assignment is to study linear perspective. Here are some examples from a couple of gallery visits over the summer. No deep analysis on these I just wanted to capture them for later reference.

MC Escher, The Hague

These are woodcuts which is remarkable in itself. I also love the way Escher has combined the effects of reflection and perspective in the pond image.

Esher again plays with perspective in the context of a reflection and how it distorts linear perspective.

Finally, the museau also had some optical illusions – here’s a short clip of a relief that plays with your mind. You’ll have to click through to Twitter for it to play I think.
